True or not doesn't matter, John. The poetry stands up by itself. The truest poetry is the most feigning, etc. Sometimes I feel it's the most bullshit. Our current laureate never said anything sillier than 'poetry cannot lie'.
I feel this ought to be one for those who like me were grammar schoolboys in the 1950s & really got taught punctuation, no messing, but so far I'm out of ideas. John has set the bar high here.
